Agent Security: Tool Poisoning, Memory Poisoning, Containment
Agent security covers threats that only exist once an LLM can call tools and act on their results: malicious tool or MCP responses, poisoned long-term memory, privilege escalation through tool misuse, and goal hijacking. The defense is runtime containment, least-privilege tools, kill-switches, and blast-radius limits, not better prompting. Applied AI interviews probe it because anyone shipping agents has to reason about what happens when an untrusted string steers a system that can spend money or delete data.
